Flower crown: instructions

1. Create a wire base for your crown. Wrap two wires with floral tape, stretching it slightly before winding. Fit the base to your head, then bend small hooks at both ends. These simple steps to craft a floral headpiece give you a perfect foundation.

2. Cut the flower stems to about five centimeters. Take a small bundle of flowers and grasses in your hand and attach them to the base with thin wire. Wrap the wire around the stems a few times and gently pull it taut. Let the grasses extend freely, and allow the crown to remain slightly asymmetrical.

3. Once your wreath reaches the right size, try it on to be sure. Then trim the remaining stems and secure the wire.

4. Tie ribbons to both hooks. If you prefer no ribbon, simply link the hooks together. For more styling tips for a handmade flower crown, experiment with colors and textures.
